Watch: Ronaldo Drops To Floor, Cries Like A Child After Nations League Triumph
Last Updated: Cristiano Ronaldo broke down in tears after Ruben Neves' penalty secured Portugal's win over Spain, sealing their second Nations League title. Cristiano Ronaldo couldn't hold back his emotions after Ruben Neves' clinical penalty secured Portugal a win over Spain to seal their second Nations League title in Munich on Sunday (June 8). The world-beating superstar dropped to his knees, breaking down in tears before joining his team's celebrations. Ronaldo, kept quiet by Spain's defense for most of the night, equalised in the 61st minute to make it 2-2, volleying the ball home after adjusting his position on the far post and muscling past Marc Cucurella after a Mendes cross was deflected into the air. He was subbed off before full-time with a cramp as the scoreline remained the same through both halves of the extra time before Portugal won the shoot-out 5-3. Before Neves' penalty, Ronaldo was seen burying his face in a teammate's back in anxiety. It seemed like he didn't even watch the ball go in, but once Neves converted, the veteran let all his emotions out.

'These are tears. It's mission accomplished and so much joy." 'I had already felt it during the warmup, I had been feeling it for some time, but for the national team, if I had to break my leg, I would have broken it," Ronaldo said. 'It's for a trophy, I had to play, and I gave it my all. I have lived in many countries, I have played for many clubs, but when it's about Portugal, it is always a special feeling," he said Ronaldo's goal in normal time was his 138th in international football, further extending his lead as the highest goal-scorer, quite ahead of both Argentina's Lionel Messi and India's Sunil Chhetri.

Caoimhín Kelleher hints at move away from Liverpool
Republic of Ireland international Caoimhín Kelleher has hinted at a summer move away from Liverpool. The Cork native was part of the celebrations on Sunday as the Merseyside club lifted the Premier League trophy at Anfield. Advertisement Kelleher - who made 10 league appearances this season - says he wants to play more first team football. Speaking to Optus Sport after the game, Kelleher said while it was great to win something with the club this season, he "feels like he is a No 1." "It is obviously really special (today), it was a nice atmosphere with the whole crowd and I made a few appearances, so it is nice to win something at the end of the season." When asked if he is looking to play more, he said: "Yeah I have said it before I feel like a No 1 and I am good enough to play week and week out, so that is what I am looking to do obviously." Advertisement Kelleher made 20 appearances for Arne Slot's side in all competitions this season due to the Alisson's injury issues, keeping nine clean sheets. With Liverpool signing of Valencia's Giorgi Mamardashvili in the 2024 summer transfer window, the Irishman could end up being third choice at Liverpool if he decides to stay. Kelleher joined Liverpool's academy from Ringmahon Rangers A.F.C. in Cork in the summer of 2015. Since then, he has made 25 apperances in the Premier League for the club. The 26-year-old won the Champions League back in 2019 as a unused sub, won two Premier League titles, two League Cups and the FA Cup back in 2022.

Liverpool clinch Premier League title as Ange Postecoglou makes unwanted Tottenham history
Liverpool demolished Tottenham 5-1 to clinch the Premier League title at an impassioned Anfield on Sunday, sealing a record-equalling 20th English top-flight crown. Arne Slot's men stormed back after conceding a surprise early goal to dominate the match, feeding off the crackling energy from the 60,000-plus crowd. Liverpool, who can no longer be caught by second-placed Arsenal, are now level with bitter rivals Manchester United as the joint-most successful club in English top-flight history. The result also handed Ange Postecoglou's Tottenham their 19th league loss of the season – matching the 1993-94 club record for most league losses in a Premier League campaign. It is just their second title of the Premier League era and the first they have celebrated in front of fans since 1990 — their 2020 triumph came at a near-empty stadium due to Covid restrictions. Returning the favour 🎶â�¤ï¸� â€' Liverpool FC (@LFC) April 27, 2025 Slot, who is in his first season in English football, said he had built on solid foundations left by Jurgen Klopp, who departed last year after a successful nine-year reign. 'Almost the whole season we were on the top of the league and had a team that could win it,' he told Sky Sports. 'We know how tough the Premier League is, but we always had the belief we could win it. 'The work Jurgen (Klopp) and (assistant) Pep (Lijnders) left, the culture, work-rate, quality, was outstanding. We started (the season) really well and maybe it helped that (Manchester) City had a difficult spell that they have not had in five years. 'When the season started we would have been happy with top four. But I don't think that is fair on the players as they are much better than that and they have shown it this season.' 🎶 Jurgen Klopp! La La La La La! 🎶 Arne Slot returned the favour during incredible scenes at Anfield. Watch the Premier League on Optus Sport ðŸ'² â€' Optus Sport (@OptusSport) April 27, 2025 Slot's men started on the front foot at an expectant Anfield after a stirring rendition of club anthem 'You'll Never Walk Alone' in the warm spring sunshine, but they were rocked by an early goal from Tottenham's Dominic Solanke. However, Liverpool barely blinked and roared back with a Luis Diaz tap-in and a screamer from Alexis Mac Allister. Now the party was well and truly started and Cody Gakpo made it 3-1, slamming a shot into the bottom corner after a much-changed Spurs team failed to clear. The Liverpool fans ran through their full repertoire of songs as their team pushed for a fourth goal in the second half. Top-scorer Mohamed Salah scored the goal the crowd craved, collecting Dominik Szoboszlai's pass before cutting in and blasting his shot into the bottom corner. He celebrated by grabbing a fan's phone before taking a selfie in front of the Kop. Deafening cheers of 'We're going to win the league' and 'We shall not be moved' rang out. Liverpool had a fifth when Spurs defender Destiny Udogie poked the ball past his own goalkeeper from close range with 21 minutes to go. As the game went into added time the club's anthem rang out again as scarves were held aloft and the final whistle elicited a thunderous roar. The win leaves Liverpool on 82 points, 15 clear of nearest challengers Arsenal with just four games remaining. Tottenham are a miserable 16th in the Premier League table after their 19th defeat of the season, putting manager Ange Postecoglou under enormous pressure. Tens of thousands of fans swarmed around Anfield in the build-up to kick-off in anticipation of Liverpool's coronation, setting off flares as the home team bus arrived. Flags and scarves saying 'Liverpool 20-time Champions' were on sale from stalls outside the ground. At the start of the campaign, Pep Guardiola's City were favourites to extend their dynastic Premier League reign and make it five titles in a row but their form collapsed. Arsenal emerged as Liverpool's closest challengers but they drew too many games, failing to take advantage of the rare slip-ups from Slot's team. It was feared the club's players would need time to adapt to the methods of Slot but the former Feyenoord boss has sailed serenely through the season despite relentless speculation over the futures of three of his biggest stars — Salah, captain Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold. Both Salah and Van Dijk have now signed two-year extensions, though England defender Alexander-Arnold is believed likely to be on the verge of a move to Real Madrid. 'A lot of emotions before the game, during the whole week, but we got the job done and we are truly deserved champions of England,' said Van Dijk. 'The most beautiful club in the world and I think we deserve all of this.'
